"Fantastic First Home-Owner Suburb"

A Secret Gem -- 12 kms from the CBD. Adjacent to the happening suburbs of Northgate, Lightsview and Oakden. Atleast 25-50 new houses being built right now
Great block sizes, especially good for young families. It's only a 15 minutes drive from the city and there is good transport available. (GO ZONE)
Best part -- excellent choices especially for First-Home Buyers. 3 Bedroom houses (brand-new) - available for 400-425k. Streets like Dumfries Ave and Folland Avenue have awesome houses coming up

"A great up and coming suburb"

I live on the borderline of Walkley Heights and this pocket of Northfield is fabulous. Great surrounding neighbours, big parks, easy access to public transport, many schools nearby and peace and quiet. Would be great to see the Port Adelaide Enfield local council to continue developing the whole of Northfield to neaten it up because it has a lot of potential - its only 10kms from the City! It is great for first home buyers and young families. It is definitely the up and coming suburb and with the number of new houses being built, I’m sure the old homes will continue to go and the suburb will boom.

"Up and coming suburb"

Northfield is a little gem in the suburbs. It used to be a poorer suburb but with recent additions such as Lightsview and Northgate as neighbours, the prices of Northfield residences are going up. Most homes are older but have great block sizes, especially good for young families. It's only 10 minutes from the city and there is good transport available. In another 20 years the land at Northfield is going to be in demand and quite valuable.

"Changing fast"

Formerly a poor suburb, it is changing rapidly, as old housing stock is replaced by new. Some streets look very contemporary and neat, some a bit scruffy.
Plenty of parks, two sports fields, major bus stops, new suburbs all around and close proximity to the city make it a good place to live.

"Adjacent Northgate is all I can say"

Trust homes and some very unattractive streets let you know you've stepped out of Northgate and into Northfield. It has a lot of potential. With Northgate right next door and Lightsview coming online Northfield could be the next big thing in the inner North but most of the homes will have to go.

It is well serviced by public transport and it’s easy to get into the city down Hampstead Road. It could be done in as little as 10 minutes. North Adelaide isn't far away so a night out for a drink or a meal is an easy trip.

However, the houses are old and run down and many of them are only good for knocking down to use the prime real estate.

If you want all that Northgate has to offer but can't afford it, Northfield could be a good alternative.
